    Love coming back to listen to the pod with each new episode. A nice comfort listen about things we used to love, no matter how problematic they may have become in the interim. #AllOurFavsAreProblematic

  • Fantastic nostalgic listen!

    Discovered this podcast while researching Courtney Love and Hole and absolutely loved that episode - so relatable! Love the premise of revisiting childhood obsessions, especially since most of the topics discussed are very Gen X and chime so well with me

  • All hail the return of Camp

    Probably the only podcast in the world that can successfully segue from Eurotrash to the met gala, to the absolute weirdness that is an Irish funeral to Trump and back again. Another amazing episode featuring Jen O’D-W-Y-E-R
